We strive for field courses that stimulate deeper learning. We achieve this by a student-centred approach and a well balanced mix of innovative teaching methods for field- and place-based education, such as blended learning or modern playful and multimedia methods. Our students will experience both roles - being students during the field-courses and being teachers during their local activities with upper secondary school students. We believe that this mix of roles and experience will create an atmosphere where members of the project create knowledge together and experience innovative teaching methods from the perspective of the teacher and the learner.

All the teaching materials that will be created during the project by both teachers as well as students will be published online under open licence (creative commons or Open Database License for geodata). Innovative teaching methods will include short educational clips (educlips), e-learning platform, multimedia online maps (StoryMap platform), GeoGames (such as wherIgo, Shutterspot, Dérive or Geocaching), low-cost aerial photography (kite mapping) and many more. All of these methods are born of the digital era and are highly valuable supplements to traditional classroom lectures, lab work and group discussions.
